In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.
